what you are feeling is a lack
a lack of worth
a gaping hole
the feeling that you need
to do more
what you feel is that
you are not enough
that it isn't enough
that you get up
each morning and that
you can smile to the world
always needing more
no matter how much you pour
the glass is still half empty
you give it everything and
it doesn't make a difference
this is not a thirst
that is so easily quenched
this is not a thirst
that has a finite existence
this thirst will take
everything from you
and still won't have enough
it will lodge itself
into the deepest parts of all being
and make it impossible to escape
